There are maybe 15 million of us left on this earth and we are bent on hating ourselves out of existence. The greatest Rabbi I ever met once succinctly solved ever problem in the world: "Yiddishkeit and Menschlihiet!" With knowledge of who we are, our history and our people combined with racing to do good to all, without exception: this is the way to solve EVERY problem in Israel today. Our teachings are the common foundation of understanding amongst our people and by being a mentch to everyone, every Jew is a better person. In case you think the Rabbi was a nobody, he was the last living student of the Hofetz Haim,
8. #4 Like you did any meaninful service.
Khameini ,   Qum   (02.13.12)
I'll bet you didn't even get to fire your gun because the army thought you were too unstable. Now you're just an angry loser from Afula who whines at everyone.
9. #2 - True dat, bro, true dat.

10. to #5 No. I served for 1 1/2 years, then
jason white ,   afula,israel   (02.13.12)
signed on for another year. I served in combat units, I served till the age of 50 as a combat soldier in the artillery. At the age of 45, I volunteered three times for two years each time. How about you? Did you serve? Probably got out on a 21 profile or cleaned the latrines with your big tongue. Oh finally I volunteered to start my national service three months after I made alyah.
11. Give credit the Polish farmer or shlahchic.
Michael ,   California, USA   (02.13.12)
Maybe it was "inspired" by Haredim ten years ago, but who inpisred their coats hundred years back? It was a Polish farmer or a shlahchic, long forgotten. Haredim copied their Polish overlords to whom they were subservient and of whom they were always scared. Only later, in Israel, have Haredim raised their eyes up from the ground and attired themselves in half-decently looking coats. Kate Middleton should know that it was a Polish-based fashion that inspired her coat. Let's help her to set the record straight.
12. first step,to join a hasidic sect,

18. Kate Middleton is definitely the best dressed.
nibor ,   israel   (02.14.12)
If she gained 20 pounds, she would be even more drop-dead gorgeous. There are more important things in the world, but maybe attitudes create outcomes. Maybe attention to detail is an attitude we are missing.
19. Jason , why do you react to anonymous cowards ?
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (02.14.12)

ygalg ,   israel   (02.14.12)
U misleading the readers with your unsubstantiated information
21. Oy Gevalt-Her mother is Jewish?
Koose E Mack ,   NY NY   (02.14.12)
That means she married a Goy! Albeit a Royal and nice one.... On a happy note...I hear the Royal Family uses a Rabbi to clip the Royal Foreskins (they make Irish Constables out of them)
22. can't see the resemblance!!!!
aline silverman ,   israel   (02.15.12)

23. Her mother is not Jewish at all.
nibor ,   israel   (02.15.12)
Rumors . . .
24. #23: Your are right. There is no Jewish connection
David ,   Karmiel, Israel   (02.15.12)
Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge (not Middleton) mother's maiden name was Goldsmith but there are many non-Jewish Goldsmiths and she is one. Catherine's full title and style is Her Royal Highness Princess William, Duchess of Cambridge, Countess of Strathearn, Baroness Carrickfergus. So that's that. Not Middleton and NOT Jewish!
